your rear windows have been plated over now i see, curious what method you used to do this ?

mine have also been covered, but becasue it was done cheaply and quickly when it was first done and i dont have the time to finish it like yours (mine is gonna be a general workhorse van) i simply removed the panels preped the metal and then re-riveted the panels back in with some strengthening braces inside

Not worries, don't spoil the surprise! I'm gonna be here for as long as i'm playing drums, its been 8 years so far and i'm only 23 so I ain't going nowhere! From now on, where my drums go my transit goes too.
Can't wait to see the final pics Luke!
